I wish to pass on my sincere condolences to Scott's family and friends. I had the pleasure of working with Scott at Kraft from the time he started working there until I retired. We scheduled many plant trials runs and production start ups there at the Kendallville plant. He loved his job and was a great asset to Kraft. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. We shared many stories together about sports and dogs which he loved.
